• W1580940987 abstract "Evangelical institutions of higher education beganintroducing programs of social work education after 1960 during aperiod of academic reform and dramatic social change. Publicdialogue increasingly acknowledged impoverishment as a reality inAmerica, and the renewal of social concern among evangelicalsstimulated interest in education for the social work profession. Atthe same time, the profession of social work was reorganizing andmobilizing to educate social workers for thousands of new socialservice jobs. An unlikely intersection of purposes broughtevangelicals and social workers together in service to the needs ofsociety. Considering the secular stance of the social workprofession and the reticence of evangelicals to engage with socialissues for two generations, the development of programs of socialwork education in evangelical institutions presents a surprisingphenomenon ripe for examination. Employing historical case studymethod, two questions guide the research. First, why and how wereprograms of social work education established in evangelicalinstitutions of higher education between 1960 and 1985? Second,what internal and external influences contributed to establishingprograms of social work education in these institutions? Archivalresearch in three significant exemplary institutions and personalinterviews conducted with faculty and students reveal the meaningthat initiating programs of social work education had in eachsetting. The case studies discuss how theological and professionalcommitments motivated leaders to introduce education for socialwork at: Philadelphia Biblical University in Langhorne,Pennsylvania; Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania; andthe Carver School of Church Social Work, formerly at The SouthernBaptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Three themes- theology, gender, and finance – emerge as imperative forunderstanding the developmental process of each institution duringthe period. Diversity of cultural heritage, institutional mission,and academic goals and objectives characterize the uniqueengagement of the schools with theology, gender and finance.Introducing programs of social work education among evangelicalsrequired skillful leaders who envisioned education for theprofession of social work as a vehicle of innovation and reform.Leaders also recognized the spirit of the times, knew the historyof evangelicals and their institutions, represented that historywith integrity in contemporary contexts, and persuaded diverseconstituencies that education for social work fit into anevangelical purpose. A delicate relationship ensued between theprofession of social work and evangelical institutions. Althoughskeptical that evangelicals could sustain adequate programs ofsocial work education and surprised that they would try, the socialwork profession recognized capable leaders among evangelicals anddiscovered that institutions succeeding in this endeavor furtheredthe goals of the social work profession." @default.
